Cell phones are becoming everyone's personal sidekick for communication, directions, looking up information on the web, accessing music and more. In one way, they help people access information easily and quickly. In another way, they seem to be taking the place of personable social experiences and relating to one another.
Cell phones are impossible to manage in a high school. Kids are so busy textings they don't talk to the student next to them.
I am not a big fun of cell phones. I consider unnecessary for children to use cell phones at school. They spend a lot time texting instead of having a verbal conversation.
